FIFA 11 Stuck ‘Setting Up Trophies’ at 27%

I’m not usually a fan of football games on consoles but FIFA 11 on the Playstation 3 still has me gripped even after 9 months of owning it. When loading it up recently however it got stuck at 27% when loading the trophies with the message ‘Setting up trophies’. Reloading the game or restarting the entire PS3 didn’t help at all and the problem remained.

The Solution

To get it loading up again successfully I navigated to the trophies section of the PS3 home page, pressed triangle and selected the ‘Sync’ option (this requires you to be logged into the PSN). This took a few seconds but once done loading FIFA then worked first time.
